Failed to create new remote session - Selenium webdriver

Question

I get an exception

An exception to the topic "main" org.openqa.selenium.SessionNotCreatedException: it is not possible to create a new remote session; desired features = capabilities [{marionette = true, browserName = firefox, version = 48.0.1, platform = ANY}], required abilities = Capabilities [ {}] 'when trying to run a selenium script in a remote web driver.

The hub and node are configured correctly and can interact with each other.

• Selenium Web Driver: 3.0
• Platform: Windows Server 2012 R2.
• Firefox Version: 48.0.1

Code used in my script:

System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "mypath/geckodriver.exe"); DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.firefox(); capabilities.setCapability("marionette", true); capabilities.setBrowserName("firefox"); capabilities.setPlatform(Platform.ANY); RemoteWebDriver driver =new RemoteWebDriver(new URL("http://ipofthenode:4444/wd/hub"), capabilities); driver.get("http://stackoverflow.com"); System.out.println("executed");

Answer 1

Create a .bat file by adding below command

 C:\Selenium_Grid start java -Dwebdriver.gecko.driver=C:\Selenium_Grid\geckodriver\geckodriver.exe -jar C:\Selenium_Grid\selenium-server-standalone-3.0.1.jar -role node -hub http://localhost:4444/grid/register -browser browserName=firefox -port 5555 

(replace the paths with yours)

then run the .bat file before executing the code
